The Merry Wives of Windsor
Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth I so loved the character of Falstaff, the fat bawdy knight, that she asked Shakespeare to write a play in which he falls hopelessly in love. Shakespeare, being Her Majesty's loyal subject, duly obliged - but being Shakespeare he wasn't content to do things by halves. He wrote a play in which Falstaff falls in love not once, but TWICE - at the same time, with two women who are actually best friends.
The result is THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR.
Multiple international award-winning Illyria return to their home turf - Shakespeare at his most boisterous and farcical. The company has a deservedly unparalleled reputation for the clarity and authenticity of their Elizabethan comic style. Bring an extra pair of socks - you'll laugh the first pair off.
